I mean it also depends on the gamemodes you play?
Kind of the reason I preferred playing Free for All over Team Deathmatch on Call of Duty, because if I lost, all I had to blame was myself and not the amoebas on my team giving the other team free points by only doing 360s off the crane for the whole game.
Also might be why I fell out of love with Battlefield after BF1, The game itself was great (wish I could still play it on Linuxβ¦) but you could tell there were a lot of new comers to the franchise who just ignored all the objective and teamplay aspects. I still find decent squad play on BF4 & 3 to this day.
Pragmatically, I am, not because I chose to play the game, but because I didnβt play well enough to win.
With the benefit of perspective, no oneβs. There is no author. The game, the loss, all of it, and even the world it took place in are meaningless. Itβs all just part of the universe playing with itself.
Itβs my teammates who donβt know how to fucking play
(Fucking Pokemon Unite, I hate you so much)
my team, duhβ¦ Itβs never my fault. Nope, never. Never once.
The controller of course
There was too much lag!
You cannot change the game, you cannot change others. The only one you can change is yourself, and thus the only time blame can be profitable is when pointed inward. Just remember: sometimes the mistake is in playing the game at all.
Itβs an empowering philosophy.
I have not been defeated, I have been assisted. I lose nothing and gain valuable experience. I grow and challenge my opponent again, helping them to grow as well.
Lag
Its an interesting question. It depends how proficient you are in a specific game. In the higher skills you generally will lose because of your own mistakes, so youβve beat yourself essentially. In the lower skills its far more random. Maybe the manufacturer does have the biggest impact in those cases regardless of who wins or loses.
Why do you have to reduce it to one? Isnβt it simply all at the same time to varying degrees?
Well βchoosing to play the gameβ is pretty all-encompassing
Did you have fun? Nobody lost.
Did you play Monopoly? Everybody lost.
Me myself and Iβ¦ Nah iβm kidding the other team was probably cheating /s
Me. I suck at aiming.
Everyone else on my team but me

My parents, for bringing a loser into this world
Iβve been told I should appreciate my parents for the non consensual wage slavery they chose for me. All to pay crippling living expenses that escalate despite the wealth of knowledge humanity has accumulated and the never before seen technological progression
Thanks mom and dad. Consider shooting up drugs for your hit of feel good brain chemicals next life and leave me out of it.
The vasectomy was the best thing i ever did for my unborn children. This pain of existence will end with me. Rest easy kids, you will not suffer these fools. You will not suffer this way of life.
Assuming your kids would be just as miserable as you is absurd.
Not really.
βMood disordersβ are highly heritable. Poor economic circumstances are highly heritable. Unhappy people who have children rarely cite them as the cure to their unhappiness. Itβs very likely that, if an unhappy person had kids, theyβd be unhappy too. Not a given, but more likely than not.
You have no idea what heritable means, and you have no idea how to use statistics. Your perspective is self fulfilling though, so I guess you are right in a shitty way.
